Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up.
I am glad you appreciated the response.Your diet should be a balanced diet composed of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water in correct proportions. It must include green vegetables,fruits,milk and eggs. You can web search for healthy balanced diet and you'll see a lot of wonderful and easy to understand explanations.
On top of diet, it's always better to take supplement medicines containing essential minerals and vitamins, particularly with the increasing age.
PLEASE TAKE MEDICINES UNDER A PHYSICIAN'S GUIDANCE.
